The Komodo dragon, at over 5 feet in
length, is one of thje world's largest lizards. It
is found on the islands of Sumatra, Borneo
and others in the Indian Ocean. It is not normally
found on the Hollywood screen, but
then The Freshman is not a normal movie.
Matthew Broderick stars as Clark Kellogg, a
kid from Vermont who is on his way to NYU
film school. All is well until Clark meets Victor
Ray (Bruno Kilby), a small time con artist
who offers Clark a ride, and then steals his
money. Now broke, Clark can't buy his textbooks,
and his teacher, Professor Fleeber
(played by Paul Benedict, who played Bentley
on The Jeffersons) is less than sympathetic.
Clark realizes his stepfather will be equally
unsympathetic, and all seems lost until Clark
runs in to Victor, the very person who stole

Daktown's 3.5.7 dominated
19's female rap scene and this
tainly won't change in the 90's.
^ir performance was definitely
jttect.
vluch like the 3.5.7's show, the
d hitting Hammer show was hy1
and tight. The Hammer's show
isists of an array of individuals
;aged in some very creative
Dreography. The Hammer's
;ngth lies in his dancing and the
y powerful beats, concocted by
awesome Bust-It production
m of MC Hammer, Felton Pi>,
and James Early. On stage
h individual seems to be an exsion
of the Hammer, each giv100%,
with the end result of
ryone in time at all times, like

The only disappointment was
t Oaktown 3.5.7 didn't join
nmer in a finale to Cut the Ulate
Untouchable Rusty. If the
ensboro show is any indication
what Columbia is in store for,
best get ready, 'cause the Oakn
